pear, blue & bacon skillet pan pizza

In the summer I grill quite a bit and placing bacon and blue cheese on my burger is just a must. But putting it on my pizza caught me by surprise because it was equally amazing. I added the pear for two purposes...one because I had seen it paired with blue cheese in other dishes but I had never tried it. And the other reason was to add some sweetness to the bold flavor that smoked bacon and blue cheese carries. This recipe is a win win.Makes 2 servings1/4 cup of slab bacon (or thick cut bacon sliced)1 tablespoon of Danish blue cheese (stilton or gorgonzola can also be used)1/2 of a bartlett pear (thinly sliced)1 cup of mozzarella cheese1 teaspoon of butter1/4 teaspoon of black pepperSee here for My Pizza Dough Recipe

Smoked slab bacon is the REAL bacon and it is absolutely delicious on this pizza! Slice the bacon into strips.

I love bartlett pears...and they add a perfect touch of sweetness to the pizza. Slice the pears very thin.

I am using a Danish blue cheese. Break it up with your fingertips.

I like to render out some of the fat from the slab bacon so that as it bakes on top of the pizza it becomes crisp. Saute the bacon in a drizzle of olive oil just for a few minutes and set it aside.
